OBJECTIVE
To describe the prevalence of daily cigarette use among Canadian undergraduates. Estimates are also compared to earlier Ontario surveys.
METHODS
Data are drawn from the Canadian Campus Survey, a national mail survey, conducted in the fall of 1998, with a random sample of 7,800 students from 16 universities.
RESULTS
Overall, 17.1% reported daily cigarette smoking and 10.4% reported occasional smoking. Rates of daily smoking differed significantly by region (with rates above average among those attending university in the Atlantic and below average among those attending university in British Columbia and the Prairies), residence (those residing off campus without family reported the highest prevalence rate), and year of study (those in the final year typically reported lower rate of use).
INTERPRETATION
University campuses represent an environment with potential gains to be made by tobacco control policies.
目的
描述加拿大本科生每日吸烟的流行情况。同时将相关估计数据与安大略省早期的调查结果进行比较。
方法
数据取自1998年秋季开展的加拿大校园调查，这是一项全国性的邮寄调查，从16所大学随机抽取了7800名学生。
结果
总体而言，17.1%的学生报告每日吸烟，10.4%的学生报告偶尔吸烟。每日吸烟率在不同地区（在大西洋地区上大学的学生中该比例高于平均水平，而在不列颠哥伦比亚省和草原省份上大学的学生中该比例低于平均水平）、居住情况（不住在校内且无家人陪伴的学生报告的患病率最高）以及就读年份（最后一年的学生通常报告的使用率较低）方面存在显著差异。
解读
大学校园是一个实施烟草控制政策可能会有所收获的环境。
